What is the ThreeFold Grid?

The grid is a decentralized Web4 infrastructure layer which allows us to build Web4, for everyone and by everyone.

The layer is called the ThreeFold Grid and...

It is capable of delivering self-healing data, network and cloud at a planetary scale.
It allows everyone, everywhere to deploy their own sovereign Internet infrastructure.
It allows everyone to build the applications of the future (10x less effort, 10x more security).
It has been operational for years as a working proof of concept with thousands of nodes online. Check the ThreeFold Dashboard.

Web4 Decentralized Architecture

The ThreeFold decentralized architecture has key features.

It is possible for millions of Famers associated with Farmingpools (V4) to deliver the compute, AI, storage and network capacity required.
Governance is done via the ThreeFold decentralized autonomous organization (TFDAO) with a token-based voting model.
Web 2 and 3 solution providers & hosters can use the resources on the grid. Check the ThreeFold Dashboard.
Web 4 developers can create the apps and experiences of the future.

Vision

The ThreeFold Grid aims to create a more sovereign, efficient, and evolutive Internet infrastructure that returns control to individual users and reduces reliance on centralized tech giants.

A thriving Internet is not only possible, it is being built right now.

ThreeFold is building Web4...

Join the grid and build with us! There are many ways to contribute and interact on the grid.

Read the Components section to see how you can join the Web4 phase of ThreeFold.

The Process

Farmers deploy nodes to the ThreeFold Grid, providing data, network and cloud resources.
Resources are verified via the Proof-of-Capacity minting protocol and made available for workload deployments.
Users can rent data, network and cloud resources directly through the network via the Proof-of-Utilization payment protocol.
